内心平安•第十二课全然敞开

以防卫之心来应对这个攻击型的世界，

注定无济于事。

防卫心态只会徒增我的软弱无助感。

攻击复防卫，

防卫复攻击。

看那心怀恐惧之人全副武装自己，

全然不知自己早已落入攻防的恶性循环。

该如何彰显心灵本具的百害不侵的力量?

唯有不设防。

我已然明白：

所有的防卫措施都难保我周全，

只会给我带来相反的结果。

每当恐惧来临，

反复提醒自己：

全然敞开。

我的安全和力量来自我的不设防。

今天，

我选择把自己的脆弱抛诸脑后。

Inner Peace • Lesson 12

In My Defenselessness My Safety Lies

A defensive response to an "attacking" world will not work, since it inceases my own feelings of weakness and vulnerability. Only the fearful believe that being defensive protects them, not recognizing that they are caught in an endless chain of attack and defense. Yet inner defenselessness is strength and cannot be attacted. Today, I recognize that being defensive cannot protect me, and produces  the opposite results of what I truly want.

Throughout the day when I feel threatened, I will repeat to myself: In my defensivelessness lies my safety and strength. I choose to leave my weakness behind today.
